5 “All I know is that governance has nothing to do with age. Today, the youngest governor in Nigeria is an unmitigated disaster”

6. “In a State in the North, the number of children that sat for WAEC is 128. This state has about 5 million people. This is not acceptable “

7. “I don’t have any single property in this country outside Onitsha. If you see any property outside Onitsha and they say it belongs to Mr. Peter Obi. Burn it! “

8. “When you are borrowing for consumption. It gets to a stage when you cannot control it”

9. “Nigerians cannot aim for sky scrapers when we cannot maintain simple toilets “

10. “I cannot pay 250,000 for one night in a hotel. I wouldn’t sleep that night. I will feel like I have been robbed. “
